Five for FRIDAY!

We kicked off our Pumpkin Unit this week! We are getting ready to take a field trip to a farm/pumpkin patch so we are going to be super busy learning about pumpkins so we can be pumpkin experts! There are so many amazing resources and freebies on TpT and Youtube for learning about pumpkins. Here are a couple of our favorites:

Pumpkin Graphic Organizer from Smitten with First, you can check it out here.

One of my favorite parts about studying pumpkins is when we actually get to carve one together! They love taking turns to pull out the “guts” and do fun counting activities with the seeds. You can grab my “How to Carve a Pumpkin” writing here. It has 3 versions in case you want your kiddos to include a picture.

I have been trying a few new Pinterest recipes lately, and these were delicious! I found this amazing mac and cheese recipe and we have made it several times now, trying a different type of pasta each time. My favorite so far is with shells.
